L-Series

The L-Series of linear servo actuators is designed to provide high performance under the most challenging of conditions, and features state-of-the-art materials and components, integrated BLDC control electronics, and proprietary Phase Index contactless absolute position feedback technology. The robust units are ideal for a variety of mission-critical aircraft and USV applications such as movement of control surfaces and payload actuation.

The versatile IP67-rated actuators are also available in a dual redundant variant that is ideal for safety-critical airborne system designs. This version features redundant motors, control electronics, and a triplicated absolute position sensor for voting. Control of redundant operation is handled entirely by the user with no arbitration, voting, or redundancy decisions made by the actuator, and the host can use the redundant actuator in either a cold-standby or load-sharing arrangement.

The redundant controllers and triplicated sensor are 100% electrically isolated, and an optically-isolated enable input is provided as a hardware disable that removes power from the motor bridge when inactive, bypassing the onboard control electronics completely.

Actuator position and phase currents can be controlled via CAN 2.0B and RS-485, and detailed health and state information can be obtained.
